Symbol Usage Means Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards with this procedure! The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols. Marks a special safety message. Means “Note”; not safety related. This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! possible ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid the hazards. 1-2. Tungsten Grinding Hazards The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual to call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you see the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions to avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-4. Read and follow all Safety Standards. Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit. GRINDING can cause FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Do not grind where flying sparks can strike flammable material. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal. Be alert that sparks and hot materials from grinding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away. FLYING SPARKS can cause injury. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The input power circuit and machine internal circuits are also live when power is on. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard. Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection. Disconnect input power before installing or servicing this equipment. Properly install this equipment according to its Owner’s Manual and national, state, and local codes. Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring − replace cord immediately if damaged − bare wiring can kill. Turn off all equipment when not in use. Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual. Wear a face shield to protect eyes and face. Shape tungsten electrode only on grinder with proper guards in a safe location wearing proper face, hand, and body protection. Sparks can cause fires — keep flammables away. HOT PARTS can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts bare handed. Allow cooling period before touching parts. To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns. OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle. Keep air holes free of dust; clean if necessary. Keep all panels and covers securely in place. READ INSTRUCTIONS. GRINDING DUST can be hazardous. Grinding produces dust. Breathing this dust can be hazardous to your health. Do not breathe the dust. Use local exhaust (forced ventilation) to remove dust or wear an approved respirator. Grinding dust from thoriated electrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environmentally safe way. Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals and consumables. Read Owner’s Manual before using or servicing unit. Use only genuine Miller replacement parts. MOVING PARTS can cause injury. Keep away from moving parts. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in place. Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels, covers, or guards for maintenance as necessary. Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when maintenance is finished and before reconnecting input power. OM-230 915 Page 1 1-3.

Description The MTG Plus cuts, grinds, and planes tungsten electrodes used in the TIG (GTAW) welding process. Additional features and benefits of this unit are: • Electrodes are sharpened to conform to recognized standards. • The replaceable grinding wheel is diamond-coated on both sides. • • The grinding wheel has an offset edge for easy cutting − an industry exclusive! • The unit can be hand operated, or wall or table-mounted using the supplied mounting bracket. The head assembly allows for different electrode angles and diameters. Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause injury and start fires. Use local exhaust (forced ventilation) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator. Read MSDS for safety information. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Grinding dust from thoriated electrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environmentally safe way. Wear proper face, hand, and body protection. Keep flammables away. 3-2.

Grinding And Cutting Electrodes Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause injury and start fires. Use local exhaust (forced ventilation) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator. Sharpening Electrode Read MSDS for safety information. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Grinding dust from thoriated electrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environmentally safe way. Wear proper face, hand, and body protection. Keep flammables away. Do not exert excessive pressure on the grinding wheel or the life of the wheel will be shortened. Use a rough grinding wheel to sharpen large electrodes. 1 Wait until grinding wheel stops before restarting grinder. Surface Grinding Electrode 1 Tungsten Electrode To Sharpen Electrode: Determine diameter of electrode and desired sharpening angle. Turn on grinder. Insert electrode in corresponding hole in grinder. Slowly turn the electrode until tip is sharpened evenly. If the electrode is not turned the tip will be flat ground to the selected angle. To Surface Grind Electrode: 1 Determine diameter of electrode. Turn on grinder. Insert electrode in corresponding hole at front of grinding head. Grind the electrode tip until square. To Cut Electrode To Length: (For Orbital Or Manual Welding): 2 Cutting Slot Turn on grinder. Insert electrode in cutting slot and turn electrode slowly until cut. Cutting Electrode To Length An optional cutting device is available for larger electrodes. See Section 7. Turn grinder off. 2 1 804 719 OM-230 915 Page 8 5-3.
